The successful documentation build for e65702f was deployed for preview:

generated by workflow run 39229036646 (attempt 1)

It will be reset every eight hours (CET 6:00, 14:00, 22:00). User ``admin``, password ``adminadmin``, unlock password ``unlockunlock``.
A public NetHSM demo instance is available at `nethsmdemo.nitrokey.com <https://nethsmdemo.nitrokey.com>`__.
It will be factory reset every eight hours (CET 6:00, 14:00, 22:00).
If you need to provision it after a factory reset, please use the following credentials.

Why "if"? The cronjob starts the container with -e ADMINPW=adminadmin, and then the unlock passphrase is "unlockunlock" by default (see start-test.sh). Is that not working reliably?

The container comes up unprovisioned. If it's meant to be provisioned, then it doesn't work.

it's fixed for now on nethsmdemo. the problem is that the "pre-provisioning" is broken if --cap-add=NET_ADMIN is used. (different port, see start-test.sh). So before we use the NET_ADMIN mode again, we need to fix that first. In any case you can remove that sentence again.

Actually, it looks like we don't need this PR at all, now that it is fixed, right?
